You don’t choose your life, it chooses you.There’s no point asking why life has reserved certain joys or griefs, you just accept them and carry on.
We can’t choose our lives, but we can decide what to do with the joys or griefs we’re given.
~Adultery, Paulo Coelho
I’ve been feeling a little blue lately, anxiety’s pricking me. Maybe I need a push to bring my engine to full throttle again? Maybe I just need to wait…
What can I say about Paulo Coelho! He is one of my favourite authors and some of my favourite quotes happen to be from his book. Have you read ‘Like the Flowing River’? That book just lifts my mood everytime I read it!

You’re one hundred percent right about Coelho. He works magic with his words!
I haven’t read ‘Like the Flowing River’ as yet, but now that you’ve mentioned it, I’ll make it a point to read it. 🙂

Glad to hear that! 👍☺ Abe was a good man, his quote has motivated me many times. And I always wish if only I could meet him once, just to tell him how much he influenced mankind to be better !

I admit I don’t know much about Abe. I’ve read some of his famous speeches and a know little about him. But the little I know tells me that he was indeed great. He’s inspired a lot of people:)
